Cannabis + Urine Test?

Question

Howdie Folks.

Heres my story... Ive been using cannabis for the last 4 years since I was about 16. For the first year or so the use was minimal. However for the last 2-3 years the use picked up to me smoking heavily (Or at least in my opinion). I smoked around £15 worth aday mixed with tobacco for various reasons yet thats no excuse. I am currently going through my application process for the RAF. Which at some stage I will be asked for a urine sample to detect anything "untoward". I have not been near any cannabis or even smelt the stuff now for 2 and half weeks and nor do I intend to in the future. I am led to believe my test is going to be in approx 2 weeks. I am healthy (apart form smoking ciggies! :o( ) and I visit the gym every other day in which I do a good work out and sit for approx half an hour divided in to 15 mins slots in both the sauna and steam room. Im not chubby and drink and eat healthly. Plenty of water!! Also been drinking cranberry juice each day... At least a couple of glasses since stopping.

Thats my background... My questions are...

1) Do you think I'll Pass?

2) Anything else I can do?

The reason I ask this is I am so devoted on getting into the RAF that I'm so worried that my urine test will let me down!

I realise I should'nt of done it to start with and that even though I hung with the wrong crowd I had the choice but teens will be teens and believe me I had my reasons!

I've read so many different answers I just want an answer based on my background.

Many Thanks... :o)

Answer 1

I think you'll past no problem. It stays in your fat cells so if you are working out you are burning fat cells and releasing the THC. Now all you have to do is drink water to flush it out of your whole system . You'll be fine.

Answer 2

First of all, don't beat yourself up about it, J, using cannabis does not make you a loser. However, a lot of people believe it does, so, until the laws are changed (and I hope that is soon), one must be discreet about its use. Cannabis metabolites can stay in the system for up to 45 days (some say even 90 days), however, the good news is, that the younger you are, the slimmer you are, the faster your metabolism, the better chance you have of getting all the metabolites out of your system much sooner. Working out, flushing out your system with lots of water and cranberry juice is an excellent approach. Also, vitamin C. I would also recommend seeing if you can buy a home test prior to the official test. These test kits are offered over the internet (often to parents who want to see if their children are smoking weed). You can take the home test first to make sure that you will pass. That will ease your mind. One other thing: if you pass the home test, stop doing the extra water, or substitute gatorade for a day or so before the official test so that your urine is not too pale (which might indicate the flushing techniques that you have been using --  you don't want to flag yourself in any way.)  By the way, congratulations on taking this new step in your life. I wish you the very best! Oh, and from my point of view -- if you really need to give up anything: give up the tobacco. That is the real deadly substance.

PS I've included a link to a site that goes into a lot more detail on this subject. I believe it will be useful to you.
